This is probably my favorite pre-workout product, at the moment. The ingredient profile is solid and the feeling and focus are great. You can take this at one scoop and still get a good serving of what you need, but two scoops is what I prefer for longer workouts or doubling up on sessions if you miss a day. The caffeine level is perfect for combining two scoops. A lot of products have such a high stimulant blend, that adding more than one scoop is really taxing on the CNS and adrenals; that is not the case with C4. The flavoring is great, too. I actually enjoy all of the flavors and have been lucky enough to try samples of all the ones that I didn't actually have a full tub of. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. Cellucor is a great company and this is probably my favorite product of theirs.

First i want to thank Cellucor for giving me the opportunity for trying their product. This product is a must have for any kind of athletes. The product gets a 9/10 for focus because i have noticed that i get less distracted when lifting on c4 then without it. The taste is a 10/10 because it taste delicious fruit punch taste like Kool-Aid, ice raspberry taste like blue cotton candy. This product mix well after a few shakes it would full dissolve no clump or anything. Overall this is an excellent product to try.

Pre-Workout
Cellucor's C4 is a preworkout i have been using for quite some time now ... and i don't think i'll ever look back! I dose at 1-1.5 scoops and it provides me with the best workouts, able to hit PRs or push out more reps almost every week! Taken on an empty stomach, it hits within 15-20mins (for me) and it provides me with an awesome sustained energy for my workout (typically 1.5hrs long). The focus is nice, providing NO jitters and NO crash after working out. Personally, for me, the most amazing part of this product is the ridiculous pumps, your body will feel as solid as a rock post workout! Want more? Just stack with Cellucors N03, and you have a recipe to DECIMATE!!!
The flavouring is great! not the best, but easily up there! Its not too sweet (for me), but if you think it is, just dilute it by adding more water, problem solved! I have also tried their pink lemonade version (for those that are interested) and that my friends is the real deal!
I cannot speak highly enough of this product, being from Australia, it is not available to us there, yet I still find myself forking out more just to import this product, simply because it is irresistable!

C4 Pink Lemonade -- AMAZING!!
By Kwik10z
from Springfield, Ohio
Pros
Good Value
Intense
Mixes well
Tasty
What a rush
Cons
Best Uses
Before Workout
Every day
First thing is that this is the most perfect matching (name to flavor) that I have ever had for any product. The pink lemonade "hits the nail on the head" because it smells and tastes just like it should (no chalky, or sour taste). Take out the caffeine and cellucor could sell this at grocery stores to compete with the Kool-aid packs. Dead serious!!
Here are its stats, according to me:
Taste: PERFECT 10/10 -
It does not get any better than this. Like mentioned above, it matches the name perfectly!! Alot of products are close, but nothing compares to this.
Mixibility: PERFECT 10/10 -
Again, does not get any better than this. I can mix 1 serving of this in 8-10 oz. of water and by the time I am done shaking it, there are no powder left on the bottom of the cup and/or floating in the water. Top notch formula!!
Pump: Insane 9/10 -
This product hits you like a ton of bricks, and makes my head and hands tingle (which is how I like a pre-workout), and it really gets you going. The reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10, is because it didn't last the entire workout, but that could easily be because of my intensity, amount of perspriation, and the intra-workout that I was drinking took over (who knows). I am not complaining, as this product should be on everyone's shopping list.
Side effects - N/A -
Do not exist, in my particular case.
Misc. -
This was the final flavor that I had to try of the C4 series. All of them are amazing in taste and performance, but the taste of the Pink Lemonade blew my mind. I will no longer bother with Fruit punch, as that is my least favorite, still pretty good (compared to NO Xplode Fruit Punch), but Pink Lemonade is on its own level!!
Untouchable!!
Thanks Cellucor for allowing me to test this flavor!!

Preworkout
This has to be one of the best preworkouts that I have had.
Mixability - 9.5 When I mix it in my blender cup with 6-8oz of water there is nothing left on the bottom of the cup.
Taste - 9.5 The taste of the Blue Razz is very good has a sweet but not overpowering taste. It is very refreshing and goes down easily.
Energy - 8.5 This has a very good clean energy and I like that compared to many other preworkouts where they make you feel over energized and then you crash a couple hours later.
Focus - 9.0 The focus is very good with this product and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that the energy blend is not overpowering where I am energized great for my workout, but focused on the task at hand.
Pump - 8.5 The pump I get when using C4 is good but not as good as some other preworkouts that I have used. I do use it after a preworkout meal that consists of carbs. Pump is good but not great.
Overall I really like this product for it's taste, focus, and a great clean energy and for the price per serving when comparing to other preworkouts this is a product that can compete with the best. Give this a shot and you won't be disappointed.

C4 is Great!
By alx52
from California
Pros
Increase energy
Increase strength
Intense focus
Cons
Best Uses
Taste(9/10): The Icy Blue Razz flavor of C4 is great! It's so refreshing, especially if consumed cold. Other pre-workouts leave a bad after taste but not C4. It makes me want more even though I use it before lifting.Mixability(9/10): The way this stuff mixes is way better than other powders. Not much powder collects at the bottom of the bottle, if any at all. Great mixability doesn't give you the hassle of repeated mixing of the substance.Profile(8/10): I really like the addition of beta alanine in C4 and with 2 scoops it can give you 3g of it. The beta alanine will give you tingles the first few times you use it but it's not serious. Arginine AKG will give you good pumps throughout your workout so that those muscles of yours look fuller. However, i would rather see the use of creatine mono rather than creatine nitrate.Price(8/10):For [$] you get 30 servings which is $1 per serving. I believe this is a good deal but there are other pres out there that give you more servings for the same price.Effectiveness(10/10): This pre-workout did wonders during my workout. I felt so good and ready during each set. My energy level was up, i wasn't wired just very energized and felt ready to take on heavy weight. My strength increased in my workout, i noticed that i could push and pull up more weight. Also, I did not crash after taking this as i did with other pre-workouts. Most likely because Cellucor took out the 1,3 dimeth from C4 which is a big plus.Overall, this product is great and will do the job of increasing your strength and energy to fuel you workout. Probably the best pre-workout I have ever tried.

Energy boost
Cellucor has done it with C4! The ultimate preworkout, and you don't have to tote around a 5lb container. It is a small, yet very powerful product. One little scoop of C4 will prime you for a workout experience like no other. C4 mixes very easily, leaving no leftovers. The taste (Blue Raz in particular) is AMAZING. Tastes just like cotton candy. Within minutes of consumption, you being to feel the tingles of the beta-alanine, exciting your body for the workout ahead of you. C4 provides clean energy, strong focus, and amazing pumps, without the crazy side effects or crash later on. If you're looking to upgrade your preworkout supplement, or try one for the first time, this is the one for you!

I was providing this tub of c4 for free to review! C4 is hands down one of the best Preworkouts ever made! Mixability 10/10 Mixes in instantly barely even requires shaking! Energy 9/10 C4 provides a serious wake up call to your body! The energy just feels soo natural and amazing. I can lift for multiple hours without feeling tired or drained. In my opinion it can be used for multiple things and even as a replacement to coffee! Focus 10/10 The focus I get from C4 is amazing! I get tunnel vision, set my mind on an objective, and don't stop till its accomplished! I have even taken c4 before a test and it help immensely!

C4 is the best preworkout on the market in my book the workout you get for this product is endless and the taste is just like drinking kool-aid and if you want a extra punch stack it with some NO3 to get that extra pump.
